Por Amarte Asi

Aventura's song 'Por Amarte Así' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is deeply in love with someone who remains distant and unattainable. The opening lines, 'Siempre serás la niña que me llena el alma, como mar inquieto, como mar en calma,' set the tone for the song, describing the beloved as a constant yet elusive presence, much like the ever-changing sea. This metaphor highlights the emotional highs and lows experienced by the singer, who is caught in a cycle of hope and despair.

The chorus, 'Por amarte así, es esa mi fortuna, es ese mi castigo,' encapsulates the dual nature of the singer's feelings. On one hand, loving this person is seen as a fortune, a blessing that fills their life with meaning. On the other hand, it is also a curse, a punishment that brings immense suffering due to the unreciprocated nature of the love. The singer is 'a un paso de tu boca y sin poder besarla,' illustrating the painful proximity to the beloved, close enough to see and desire but never to touch or kiss. This imagery powerfully conveys the agony of being so near yet so far from the object of one's affection.

The song also explores the idea of enduring love, even in the face of rejection and time. The lines 'Si aún tengo que esperarte siete vidas más, me quedaré colgado de este sentimiento' express a willingness to wait for multiple lifetimes, underscoring the depth and persistence of the singer's love. This unwavering commitment, despite the lack of reciprocation, speaks to the universal human experience of longing and the hope that one day, the love will be returned. Aventura's poignant lyrics and emotive delivery make 'Por Amarte Así' a powerful anthem for anyone who has ever loved someone from afar.
